Here is another user-requested tutorial! This one is an absolutely necessity for any primary teacher making their own items for their classroom.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

One week on the poll and this option was a hit! Be sure to go to the <a href="http://aturntolearn.blogspot.com/p/technology-tuesday-request.html">Technology Tuesday request form</a> and give me more ideas to add to the poll!<br />

<br />
I decided to include three different ways to make primary lines. To be totally honest, I only ever use the first way, through a font, but you have to pay for the font for commercial use so I want to be sure to include some free options as well!<br />
<br />

<br />
Now... for the other options (I'll warn you in advance... they're not difficult... but they're definitely not as easy as option #1!)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Note: you can also take a screenshot of the line if you find it easier to copy/paste the picture rather than the table!<br />
<br />

<br />
For next week's poll I added another option that someone requested: how to make "color by number" activities! Be sure to vote!<br />

<br />
Before I get into the tutorial I have to ask a favor of everyone... I need more ideas for these technology Tuesday posts! I have a list of things I want to add to the poll... but this 4"x6" idea was one that someone submitting on the <a href="http://aturntolearn.blogspot.com/p/technology-tuesday-request.html">Technology Tuesday Request Form</a>. Please head over there and submit an idea that you'd like me to blog about and I'll try to add it to the poll soon!<br />

It's a lot easier to explain how to save the photos as images since each printer is a little different, but I hope that helps! <br />

For a while I had them stored in folders, but then I had a genius idea!!!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2iKJoMrC0nEl6HpGxN_eGKDMjmIpgXO7AlDCQzTyVtrC9sw5DbTx1pNO928eL8WC1A4Zv-Ct4eJ_3L6fvxHuBvXey54Bj8gbYilZ4JMFFnf62Tc-DlTzDtIqp-4eRMdTCYcTYKRskT4g/s1600/Slide1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Whenever I set up my library, I always end up printing out extra labels and I love this way of organizing them... store the extra labels in a binder in special page/pocket protectors!" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2iKJoMrC0nEl6HpGxN_eGKDMjmIpgXO7AlDCQzTyVtrC9sw5DbTx1pNO928eL8WC1A4Zv-Ct4eJ_3L6fvxHuBvXey54Bj8gbYilZ4JMFFnf62Tc-DlTzDtIqp-4eRMdTCYcTYKRskT4g/s1600/Slide1.JPG" height="300" title="Whenever I set up my library, I always end up printing out extra labels and I love this way of organizing them... store the extra labels in a binder in special page/pocket protectors!" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
First, I grabbed a giant binder... I actually ended up needing to buy a bigger one (3 inches!) because I had so many labels. I also made sure to get an "<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0006HV0AQ/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B0006HV0AQ&linkCode=as2&tag=atutole-20&linkId=6JLJYYV6PCANQVHR">extra wide</a>" binder - which is more suitable for holding page protectors.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBvrulOjqBb7vbHyCqd4CCZ6xfgUmm9IUHNji-6N7ZexO1efL0DH0Saz59O1yqYO9U8goQsXU4a82ARsxDyPXf_iv3hk9IKZbbtnEyikYhga6ro9vrWe6B04Z3UT0qN8Nj662Uzc4GTa0/s1600/Slide2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Whenever I set up my library, I always end up printing out extra labels and I love this way of organizing them... store the extra labels in a binder in special page/pocket protectors!" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBvrulOjqBb7vbHyCqd4CCZ6xfgUmm9IUHNji-6N7ZexO1efL0DH0Saz59O1yqYO9U8goQsXU4a82ARsxDyPXf_iv3hk9IKZbbtnEyikYhga6ro9vrWe6B04Z3UT0qN8Nj662Uzc4GTa0/s1600/Slide2.JPG" height="300" title="Whenever I set up my library, I always end up printing out extra labels and I love this way of organizing them... store the extra labels in a binder in special page/pocket protectors!" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Then I grabbed these amazing page protectors that are divided into four pockets - they are the perfect size for my labels!!!<br />
<br />

When I bought them, they were about $17 for the box of 100 - which was the best deal on Amazon at the time. I bought one box and I have a ton of extras! I was really happy with their quality too... they're really sturdy. <br />

<br />
Then I took all the extra labels I had printed (which have a slightly different font than the set that I have posted up on TPT) and started organizing!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I kept everything sorted by categories the same way I have them separated in the pack - holidays, ELA topics, math topics, etc., then sorted them alphabetically. Then, I bought these AMAZING page protector tabs. I still have to print the little tabs for the sides, but they do help to easily find what topic you're looking for!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The tabs work exactly like a page protector, so you can put a title sheet in them, but they stick out past the other page protectors in the binder... making them very useful in this binder!</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
When you go to put all of the labels away, you'll have to cut or fold the actual labels. I cut mine out so they were one column wide and 5 stickers tall. They fit perfectly in the pocket protector that way!</div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
I will say, the binder is a little bit bulky... but I'm willing to sacrifice a few inches of shelf space for this organizational heaven! Plus, it beats digging through drawers or folders to find the labels... or wasting ink/labels reprinting something that I already have because I couldn't find it!</div>

As many of you know, I'm obsessed with technology. But today, to commemorate three years of blogging, I have to let you in on another secret about me... I'm slightly OCD. I always like to say that I'm just as close as you can get to OCD without needing an official diagnosis, but one of my good friends (who is an amazing teacher and has a <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/Kdots-Learning-Spot">fabulous TPT store</a> that you should check out!) likes to say that I need a diagnosis but I just haven't gotten it yet!<br />
<br />
So, over the course of the next few days, I thought I'd share how awesome my obsessive organizing is with all of you! As teachers we accumulate <strike>so much junk</strike> so many very important and valuable things that we need to keep track of (ahem!)... and it's easy to lose track of what we have.<br />
<br />
Today I thought I'd focus on organizing math manipulative labels. I mean, they're wonderful when they're on our bins keeping our supplies organized, but what about the extra labels!? I used to keep mine in a Ziploc bag... which I inevitably would lose track of and have to print out new labels when I needed them. Then... I thought of this!<br />
<br />

I know what you're thinking... "Really? A binder?" But yes... a binder. Check out the inside!<br />

I found these <u><b>AMAZING</b></u><b> </b>four pocket tabs on Amazon... and my math labels fit perfectly in them!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
When I bought them, they were about $17 for the box of 100 - which was the best deal on Amazon at the time. I was really happy with their quality too... they're really sturdy and the plastic is a good weight.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Anyway... I put my math labels in them and it's so easy to find the labels that I want and keep track of what labels I need to print again if I get new manipulatives!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Sometimes we end up accumulating different designs of labels (or redesigning our own labels, as I did with my product)...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTyqnl8M1_qgAN8RsgyCvNI_7MBF-wBxCQQlHhFJHq78jISB57MTBrCwb5TN8l326JTb-UQxrXMzzMirEFNIaRgApoNJd4q6hXXNR1sPLDAEzSl3SKI85G-OA95sa5VWFy5phAUy6nqX4/s1600/Math+Labels+Preview+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Math Manipulative Labels!" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiTyqnl8M1_qgAN8RsgyCvNI_7MBF-wBxCQQlHhFJHq78jISB57MTBrCwb5TN8l326JTb-UQxrXMzzMirEFNIaRgApoNJd4q6hXXNR1sPLDAEzSl3SKI85G-OA95sa5VWFy5phAUy6nqX4/s1600/Math+Labels+Preview+1.JPG" height="152" title="Math Manipulative Labels" width="200" /></a></div>
<br />
Either way... if you end up with more designs, you can always put them in back of the other labels. That jumbo beads labels in the picture below is the old design... i just stored it behind the updated design of the same label.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Basically, I'm in love with those page protectors/dividers and wish I had known about them months ago... they make me want to reorganize my whole life!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Over the next few days, I'll post some of the other ways I use them, along with some other nifty organization tricks that I've found along the way!</div>

I know, I know... it's been too long! Today, I am writing up my <b>300th post</b> and tomorrow, I'll be celebrating my <b>THIRD blogiversary</b>! It's hard to imagine that nearly three years ago I started this little blog... I am SO grateful for all of my followers!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUkMRRKBo0KVuZyomoVo9zjY1PNFzsvoltGy_QGftiGUGbpvg-F0Klphbi8SnuBhMjkYX29uGN5-rJRPf7qsI2v0Ba4bXG_ibGUUK14RwkmCl3_rqNT9FEOwihX3cSWRa18fVIeCP8gDc/s1600/300th+Post.png" height="320" width="239" /></div>
<br />
I know I've been largely absent over the past year, but things have been a bit crazy! I was trying to balance working full time, being in school full time, and running a blog and my time was just too limited! I felt horrible for not blogging, but in the meantime, I got a promotion, finished up my degree in SBL (School Building Leadership), and got a new job!<br />
<br />
But... life is a roller coaster, and a few weeks ago I got extremely sick and was legitimately terrified that I was going to die. It really made me rethink what was important in my life... which of course is friends and family. But it also made me rethink what I enjoy in life... and I realized how much I miss blogging! Everything happens for a reason, right?<br />

<br />
I'm going to make an effort to come back to blogging and get back into my Technology Tuesday posts! Fingers crossed that all of you still stop by to see what I write after being absent for so many months!<br />
<br />
So... without further ado... do you want to know how to show HTML code on your kind of like this:<br />

For the poll for next week, I'm going to add how to make a PowerPoint 4"x6" (or 5"x7") - perfect for printing out some things that you make on photo paper!<br />

It's been far too long since I have posted here but I didn't forget about all of you! Please accept this Goldilocks and the Three Bears freebie as my sincere apology for my prolonged absence from writing.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Differentiated-ELA-Books-for-Kindergarten-1-Goldilocks-and-the-Three-Bears-1564149"><img alt=" This FREE set of writing books includes 5 days worth of differentiated lessons for your students that address various ELA skills, such as comprehension, alphabet recognition, and phonemic awareness... all using the story Goldilocks and the Three Bears!" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYugVz5ZfVUQLBL_MquLKwv2Oah02CUstSc8EB0h-CevWGvMJ29OHwomCw5p50oOB6ARPCwJxHblvD28Va85KrUb0X8BNJ2gOuA1y5oK4DHLZYsedKfB78wQhFqrhogAFHITSIdFwCbWc/s1600/Goldilocks+Preview+1.JPG" height="400" width="307" /></a></div>
<br />
This book is the first in a series of differentiated writing books for Kindergarten. These books focus primarily on the fairy tales and folk tales included in the Core Knowledge scope and sequence for Kindergarten.<br />
<br />
<br />
This writing book has your students work on so many different ELA skills over the five day sequence:<br />
<ul>
<li><u>Day 1</u>: Summarizing a Story using Illustrations (p. 3-4)</li>
<li><u>Day 2</u>: Identifying Uppercase Letters (p. 5)</li>
<li><u>Day 3</u>: Identifying Lowercase Letters (p. 6)</li>
<li><u>Day 4</u>: Beginning Sounds (p. 7-8)</li>
<li><u>Day 5</u>: Sounding Out Words (p. 9-10)</li>
</ul>
<br />
Oh, and did I mention that these books are differentiated?<br />
<ul>
<li>Book A: Approaching Level</li>
<li>Book B: On Level</li>
<li>Book C: Above Level</li>
</ul>
Day 1 is the same for all three books, but days 2-5 are slightly different. The pages look almost exactly the same, but the work is slightly different (e.g. for day 2, students with book A have to find 10 letters and students with book C have to find 16).<br />
<br />
I'm going to post a series of these books (and have a giveaway of course!), but in the meantime - enjoy this freebie!<br />
<br />

Then... it's time to work on our sight words and they automatically aren't interested... they don't even want to put in the effort! (Does anyone else have these types of students or is it just me!?)<br />
<br />
Well... I figured it out: make them think they're doing math when they're really doing ELA! My mathematically inclined students LOVE these games... and don't even realize they're practicing their sight words in the process of doing addition!<br />
<br />
I decided to bridge off of the concept of Scrabble to have students add up the value of words.<br />
<br />
I made a few games for the Dolch Sight Words:<br />

Before you start the tutorial, I want to forewarn you that doing this can be kind of intimidating since it involves code. I have my fingers crossed for you that you finish it in steps 1-3 (which involves no code)... but if not, just follow the steps in order. Good luck!<br />

Now of course, for a quick giveaway. I'm making my <a href="http://aturntolearn.blogspot.com/2013/02/reflections-how-to-show-documents.html">grandma's</a> famous spinach ravioli again this Easter. Yesterday, I made the stuffing and dough, and today I'll start making a million tiny ravioli (okay, not a million, but last year we made <a href="http://aturntolearn.blogspot.com/2013/03/how-to-make-super-cute-cover-page-for.html">723 ravioli</a>... yikes!)<br />
<br />
Anyway... how long did it take me to make the spinach stuffing? I rounded the time to the nearest 15 minutes. Whoever guesses correctly first will win all FOURTEEN games!Ms. Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06551250919281151089noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6678684620332590987.post-47056318744149097152014-04-15T19:27:00.004-04:002014-04-15T19:27:41.055-04:00How to Easily Resize Pictures in Microsoft PowerPoint or WordThis is one of my most used tricks... and I'm sure it will quickly become one of your favorites!<br />

I had all intentions of digitizing it but wasn't really sure how. Over the next few months I played around with a few options and really love the one I ended up with. Come Christmas break, I cleared off that entire shelf and now every piece of paperwork is digital!<br />
<br />
Are you ready to clear off your bookshelf and organize your PD notes in a much more effective manner? Let's do this! <br />

People playing tricks on each other basically goes against all of the rules we've been working on. Anyway... I finally thought of a way to celebrate April Fool's Day with my Kinder kids... with a fun smartboard game!<br />
<br />
My students love working on CVC sentences and I figured the addition of pictures to one of their favorite games couldn't hurt! I'm so excited that this game will work on their decoding and comprehension skills all at once... and I can't wait to see their faces when they read these crazy sentences on April Fool's Day!<br />

I figured that I needed to do them so that I could give them away for free to some of my lovely followers!<br />
<br />
First things first, my new game: an Easter Beginning Blends game that focuses on CCVC words. I can't wait to use this with my students!<br />
<br />

<br />
Next, I have a few coin recognition games that I made for my kiddos... and of course a bundle with all four games together. For those of you familiar with my <a href="https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/My-Products/Digital-Products/117206">interactive e-books</a>, each Smart Notebook file has an interactive e-book at the beginning to teach your students about the symbols on the coin, then the file has two games to help your children recognize the coins and their values.<br />
<br />
Here is the book on pennies: <br />

Next, I have a game I use at the beginning of the year. I use as an informal way to see who can identify their name, a well as a fun way to introduce graphing!<br />

<br />
And now for two more interactive e-books for the smartboard. I use these as part of my Core Knowledge unit on sculptures. The first on is on the Statue of Liberty (which is also perfect for a unit on US Symbols):<br />

I'm sure I have more Smart Notebook items I could bog about, but I'll have to save that for another day! I'll email these to the first two people to comment for free... but don't forget to leave me your email address!<br />

<br />
First things first, let me start with the freebie: the Introduction to Clouds E-Book. This Smart Notebook file introduces the three main cloud types (cirrus, cumulus, and stratus) and has some really fun interactive components in it! I used this book at the beginning of my unit and the students LOVED it!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Introduction-to-Cloud-Types-Interactive-E-Book-for-Smartboard-Freebie-1170166"><img alt="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Introduction-to-Cloud-Types-Interactive-E-Book-for-Smartboard-Freebie-1170166" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOB4aESePHV1UjmjEW8pwuM49leYNcdKXh0Fo_z2S8CyR__SFioFp96Zi5Fm-G1CK8lVJl3PjnCet9lv8bDD0TzNY6CCVXG9w6pMwERHW3WdopQCD4N3vKi4k9smA0ghzNI_5cVEqHQCE/s640/Smartboard+Introduction+to+Cloud+Types+Preview+Blog.png" width="206" /></a></div>
<br />
Next, I did the interactive e-book on Cirrus Clouds with my class:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Cirrus-Clouds-Interactive-E-Book-and-Games-for-Smartboard-1170122"><img alt="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Cirrus-Clouds-Interactive-E-Book-and-Games-for-Smartboard-1170122" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEijA1B5x4w5JLzoFQfXtPhpbne4eB0Q3MwIG8kl-PucN3Jh9iOJ6ThfUqVryzNFX0XMCamWbLdcCsY7g_Jl02rWN5Pvl8DSEze2T_DFA4kT2I8p1jFyJY8wpF_M6-PVKbV4efT8WBCeg5M/s640/Smartboard+Cirrus+Clouds+E-Book+Preview+Blog.png" width="206" /></a></div>
<br />
Then, I moved onto the book for cumulus clouds:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Cumulus-Clouds-Interactive-E-Book-and-Games-for-Smartboard-1170128"><img alt="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Cumulus-Clouds-Interactive-E-Book-and-Games-for-Smartboard-1170128" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjENZju0bAc6-c2GCrt2AFlG6y1_rnir_6wbPHMKnPeUU3mBwmP3glOTJsdPlq4Z51ftV1Tr5SxHxNla_L8R28ZpWgvRkBUA2mYjIfnvru1Y2-YywRd7a3ckr2FbmDLO-HAJjW9PJA2bro/s640/Smartboard+Cumulus+Clouds+E-Book+Preview+Blog.png" width="206" /></a></div>
<br />
After that, I taught the students about stratus clouds:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Stratus-Clouds-Interactive-E-Book-and-Games-for-Smartboard-1170133"><img alt="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Stratus-Clouds-Interactive-E-Book-and-Games-for-Smartboard-1170133" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNZ2Ds-iHDXUTFg37xoJ6_cGm-6McU5LQkHZ-H2UHgCpM18ijPnDofd5XpgFIqVr-wpTJzOTHLdwaZcam8iOYc_Vx2gPu3f-4LGQuDScHPhe_mPuFbTAWQQp1T-FiYzdu6bRZ61ThYXfM/s640/Smartboard+Stratus+Clouds+E-Book+Preview+Blog.png" width="206" /></a></div>
<br />
Then I moved onto cumulonimbus clouds (which is quite possible their favorite!)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Cumulonimbus-Clouds-Interactive-E-Book-and-Games-for-Smartboard-1170139"><img alt="http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Cumulonimbus-Clouds-Interactive-E-Book-and-Games-for-Smartboard-1170139" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj248n1Ou42uqWcq7DWI1qslsTQflS6kDM3V-fp3z-lvr-OSLUxvMxuY0NtTvxEMtJYcL85pfGDikufdIk7dbSkD0Fci4Ew2PpDnO4qcaRuCNxdkgH79sWu68ukkV_vE7z7iN82X0G7zoE/s640/Smartboard+Cumulonimbus+Clouds+E-Book+Preview+Blog.png" width="206" /></a></div>

Tomorrow will be a crazy day with all of the excitement of the leprechaun visit (and a field trip on top of it! Ahh!)... so I need something that I can grab and go without any work. This game for the smartboard will have your students practice CVC words and reading sentences all in one! They're sure to love the creative pen and the animation.<br />

I know that President's Day was technically a week and a half ago, so I'm technically a little late on this post. That being said, I actually just read this interactive e-book on the smartboard to my class today! (In my defense, we were closed last week and didn't have time to talk about it yet.)<br />
<br />
The students were so interested in learning about the holiday, which is officially still referred to as "Washington's Birthday." Learn about the history of how this federal holiday came to be through this fun Smart Notebook file!<br />

Then, I stumbled on this website and <u>my life changed</u>. This book turned bibliographies from a stressful thing that I needed to do (just when i thought i was finished) to a breeze.<br />
<br />
What format do you use? APA? MLA? Chicago? Turabian? What do you need to cite? Books? Websites? Journals? Newspapers? Whatever it is... you can probably make a bibliography in 5 minutes... no joke. <br />

For next week's poll, I'm going to add the option how to search on any blog, which is particularly helpful when a pin leaders you to a main blog page and not directly to the post you want!Ms. Jessicahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06551250919281151089noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6678684620332590987.post-59299452962874175212014-02-19T21:00:00.000-05:002014-02-19T21:00:03.656-05:00Step By Step Tutorials Now Sorted on PinterestWith 84 tutorials (and counting!) my <a href="http://aturntolearn.blogspot.com/p/technology-tuesday.html">Technology Tuesday</a> page is starting to look a little bit overwhelming!
